When I was in a
huddle with some politicians in a recent government function, I eavesdropped on
the conversation between a lawyer and his lawyer-son regarding my recent column
titled “The Immoral Senator De Lima”.

I wrote there that the controversial and hated lady
senator could not be sued by the People of the Philippines because her offense
of concubinage was a private crime.

It means it was only Norlyn Magalanes Dayan, the wife
of De Lima’s paramour her driver Ronnie, who could sue her with that criminal
case and no other person or institution.

“Are concubinage and adultery supposed to be public
crime?” the lawyer asked his son.

“No, it’s only rape”.

When I bumped into fellow radio commentator Ruel Camba, I
told him about the lawyers and that private crime.
